Living Situation (Madison)

[Franklin Hubbard]

It had been a few weeks since Frankie and Madison made their relationship official, and even though Frankie was beyond content with the new arrangement something still left him unsettled; his girlfriend living alone with the threats from her so-called father hanging over her head. Even though things were new between them and he didn't want to push her into anything, at the same time he wanted to keep her safe. And was convinced them living under the same roof would make that happen. Hopefully he could somehow convince her of the same.

Feeling guilty though for not seeing much of her, having been stuck at the hospital all night last night and well into the early morning. after going back to his place to get cleaned up Frankie decided he'd surprise Madison by bringing her breakfast.
Letting himself in with the key she'd made for him, he quietly cut through the living room over to her bedroom and saw she was still curled up in bed asleep. Tempted to just watch her but not wanting the food to get cold, ever so carefully he climbed into bed and snuggled up beside her. Brushing her hair off her shoulder he gently kissed her there with smiling lips.
"Morning Mads..."

[fradison]

Madison stirred a bit when she felt something moist touch her shoulder and when she heard a deep voice she mumbled, “Hmmm.” Had she not already been immune to his scent she would have instantly thought the worst and freaked. Snuggling closer to him she wrapped her arms around him and rubbed her cheek against his chest. “Morning,” she whispered with a smile.

The position they were in wasn’t at all new to her nor him. They did it plenty of times it was only this time he’d been fully dressed and probably just coming off work. “Get out of these clothes and get comfortable,” she pleaded. She knew she should have been rolling over, getting up and getting ready for work, but she just couldn’t bring herself to do so. Not to mention being very comfortable she was still sleepy.

Hearing Madison's plea Frankie sighed. She was making his previous plans for this morning very difficult to follow through on. But when she looked at him like that, forget it..he was a goner.
Kicking off his shoes he slipped off his shirt and jeans and tossed it to the side. He didn't realize how tired he actually was til he laid down.
Holding Madison close he kissed her forehead and budded his nose with her's, and then rolled her so she was settled above him. Smoothing her hair back he looked up at her with smiling eyes but totally under her spell and mesmerized.
"You are so beautiful...you know that?"

[fradison]

Madison propped herself up and watched as his undressed and later joined her. They had a moment that made her heart go pitter patter and when he rolled her to settle on top of him, she gasped and giggled. “What?” She asked resting her hands on his chest and then resting her chin on her folded hands.

“You’re such a smooth talker… you know that?” She winked and kissed his Adam’s apple before moving to his chin and then back down to his neck. The feeling of his warm body, muscular body under her and the sweet words that poured from his mouth sent a shiver down her spine. “How was work?” She asked still kissing him and inching up to pull his earlobe between her teeth. “Frankie?” She mumbled when he didn’t answer her.

[Franklin Hubbard]

"Well now I do.."
Frankie teased but when he felt her soft lips travel down his throat, making their way to his neck he almost lost his mind. This woman could convince him to commit any crime out there without thinking twice.
"Huh??"
He breathed softly, too fuzzybrained to pay attention when she did that to his ear. That was his weak spot and she knew it.
"What..oh...good.."
He answered as she kept on kissing and nipping all over him. Finally though it was too much for him to take and stealing a fiery kiss, he rolled with her so he was above. Now it was his turn to smile and tease a little. Breaking free of her lips he pushed her hair back and nibbled her ear before kissing down to her neck.
"Not as good as now though."
He chuckled, determined to make her feel just as fuzzybrained.

[fradison]

“That’s good,” she whispered right before she resumed her tease. It was suppose to be all fun and games but when he kissed her and rolled her onto her back she felt she may have pushed him just a bit to far. “Fran…” His name along with whatever else she was going to say died on her lips as he started paying her back.

Madison dragged her nail along his back and just barely placed a kiss on his cheek. Her brain turning into mush she arched up and begged, “Stop… stop teasing.”

Somewhere between that and the time she got him out of the rest of his clothes, Madison found herself pinning him down onto the bed and lowering her head to whisper something in his ear. “Fusion who?” She smirked. There was no chance she was going into work today.

[Franklin Hubbard]

Chuckling briefly at her Fusion comment Frankie's smile turned to a creased frown, the way she felt and moved against him was enough to make any man insane.
When she took her kisses lower, letting out an involuntary groan it took everything in him to keep from losing his mind. But before things could end before they began he pulled her back up and took back her lips.
He didn't plan on teasing but he needed her and there was no doubt about it. But he wanted her to be in control, see what she had up her sleeves. Letting her sat up he guided her until they found a rhythm together, but bit his lip anxiously trying to keep it together. He was close but he needed her with him.

[fradison]

When she was back eye level with him she let out a giggle and pulled on his bottom lip. “Too much,” she whispered as she pulled up and stared down at him.

They soon found that rhythm. Their rhythm. It was then she decided to love him like he’d never been loved. Every since the first time they made love it had gotten downright amazing and she honestly didn’t think it was even possible. Madison planted her hands flat on his chest and moaned when he closed his eyes. “Look at me,” she ordered before pulling him up and staring into his eyes. “With me,” she urged wrapping her arms around his neck and cupping the back of his head.

[Franklin Hubbard]

Hearing her giggle all Frankie could do was manage a nod at her before finally things hit a fever pitch. Feeling her soft hands rubbing his chest when she ordered him to look into her eyes he obeyed without fail. He could look into her eyes every day for the rest of his life and wouldn't have it any other way.
"I love you..I love you.." He moaned, the sounds she was making just egging him on further.
Once she helped him upright, locking eyes he held her closer then he thought possible as they rocked, him chanting her name over and over like it was a prayer. Finally they hit their height and when her head fell back he buried his face in her neck, right before they fell back against the pillows.
"Wow.."
Rolling off to the side he lay on his back trying to catch his breath. Until finally he did and chuckling, resumed holding her as she curled up on his chest.
"Hey, remind me to surprise you with breakfast more often, okay?"
Frankie chuckled, stroking her hair from root to tip.

[fradison]

All Madison could do was nod slowly and just barely breathe out, “Yea.”

Later on Madison giggled at his statement and then shuddered when he started stroking her hair. Madison was too tired to act on what the feeling was really doing to her, but Frankie did know that at any other time she would be all over him. Torturing him. “Will do,” she sighed, slowly picking her head up and kissing his chest.

[Franklin Hubbard]

"Mmm..Mads.."
Frankie sighed when she started kissing his chest. This woman was gonna be the death of him if he wasn't careful.
"You keep that up we're gonna be stuck in here all day..and ordinarily I wouldn't mind but, there's actually something I wanted to talk to you about."
He said, and finally she paused and sat up, looking at him curiously.
"Look I've been thinking about something for awhile. Ever since our first night together actually. I...Baby I know you don't want to think about it. And if I had it my way neither of us would ever again. But, I can't get what you told me about your fa--about, James, out of my mind."
Frankie sighed bitterly, sitting up a bit more. He hated dwelling on this and seeing the look in Madison's eyes when the name of that monster was mentioned always tore at his heart. But he had to do this, he felt compelled to do this.
"Madison you know I love you. More than anything. Same as I love us. And like everything I love I...I have this urge to protect it. I know you can take care of yourself, you're one of the strongest bravest women I've ever known in my life. But I still want to protect you. Even if it's just for my peace of mind. And I gotta tell you, leaving this apartment at night..going back to my place alone..I hate it. I think about you all the time, and not just in a good way. I feel afraid. At the thought of something happening, just a phone call even, and my not being there to stop it.
I hate not, being around for you. I know things are still new for us but..I've given this a lot of thought. And I have to ask."
Reluctantly he finally bit the bullet and spoke.
"Mads, tell me honestly how you'd feel if, if we moved in together."

[fradison]

Madison was nearing Frankie’s lips when he uttered the words that sent a shiver through her body. And not the good kind! “About what?” She asked sitting up. When he began to talk about their first time together she smiled which later turned into a frown and his next words led her to move off of him and pull the covers up over her chest. With a sigh she looked away. “Frankie… Please, let’s not talk about this right now.”

Every since that night, well maybe two days after, her father’s calls ceased. Her mother’s calls ceased. Madison knew it was a long shot, but she felt maybe her father just decided to leave her alone. Maybe he croaked. She wasn’t quite sure what but she couldn honestly say she really didn’t care. She got what she wanted, them to just let her be, let her rest.

“Whoa!” She managed to get out. Madison thought he was going to suggest they have a police officer watch her back or something to that affect, she hadn’t thought he was going to go as far as asking her to move in with him or vice-versa. “Frankie, that’s… That’s big,” she started. “I… I don’t know what to say. Really!”

[Franklin Hubbard]

Seeing Madison's reaction Frankie wasn't surprised. This was a big deal, it was a big deal for him to ask but he didn't want to just hire guards when he cared about her more and would defend her better than any of them could. He wanted to be close to her.
"Hey it's okay. I..it's a pretty big step I know. But I've given this a lot of thought. Our being together deserves for me to take a lot of thought and consideration."
Frankie said truthfully.
"Look, if you're not..willing or up for it, I'll understand. I do. I just..think this would be in our best interests. And not just 'cause of the security factor. I love being with you Mads. I love waking up in the morning and having you next to me. I love how we both pretend we know what we do when we're cooking and later wind up ordering pizza as a fallback. I love how you've got, clutter but it's arranged and all organized down to the last bookend. And..I just want to be with you. Is that so wrong?"
He asked giving her a shy little boy smile. Hoping underneath though that she'd agree to this and it wouldn't turn into a big obstacle or issue between them.

[fradison]

“I’m not saying that you hadn’t thought about this. It’s just…” Madison once again had no words and all she could do was turn her head and raise her hand to her mouth to bite her nails.

When Frankie began to talk again Madison was getting up from the bed and sliding the shirt he worn earlier on her bare body. Hearing that he loved waking up next to her made her turn to look at him and then she giggled when he mentioned their cooking or the lack of. “No, it’s… it’s not. I guess,” she said softly walking back to the bed and sitting next to him. The look he gave her, she rolled her eyes and pinched his cheek playfully.

This was a very big move. Granted she wanted it more than anything but later on. “Frankie I…” She looked down. She finally had somebody that loved her. Not pretended to love her, but actually loved her and thought about her before himself. This was what she’d been wanting all her life even before she knew it… So why couldn’t she just tell him yes?

“What about your parents?” Madison finally asked raising her head. What about them, she thought. They were both grown and had lives of their own. Lived in their own place or would be living in their own place… Wow that sounds nice, she thought, her mind briefly forgetting what was going on. Get back on track! “Okay! I know you’re a grown man, but… what would they think if they found out we were living together?” She jumped back up and started pacing. “Me and your parents are cool but I don’t think we’re that cool. You know? ‘I’m okay with you moving in with our son’ cool. I’m shocked neither one of them has come knock on my door and forbid us to be a couple!” She scoffed. Silence blanketed the room and she turned back to him. “They do know about us? Right?”

[Franklin Hubbard]

When Madison started asking about his parents, Frankie sighed. Not at her just at the question. Between work and how quickly the pace had picked up between him and Madison he hadn't exactly been updating Jesse and Angie. Of course he felt bad about that and would handle that situation in due time. But not bad enough to consider his parents a reason not to move in together.
"Alright..I admit...I haven't exactly been keeping my parents updated on everything with us. I'm not excusing it just, telling it like it is. But it's just because of our schedules..theirs and mine. What can I say, we're busy people."
He weakly joked, before motioning for her to join him back on the bed after he'd slipped on his pajama bottoms.
"But that delay has nothing to do with you...or us. I'm proud of us and the only thing keeping me from telling them is, not having time to pick up the phone lately to call them. That's it."
Frankie assured, hoping she heard and understood him.
"Madison I know things got off to a rocky start and..got even rockier for awhile with you and my family. But like you said, my mom and dad are cool with you. If they know we're happy and we can make eachother happy, they'll be able to handle us living together. I know it, and I will prove it. Sometime this week I'll..call them and set up a dinner or something. We can go out, have a nice meal, and then when everyone's good and full and happy we'll drop the bomb on them and pray for the best."
He teased but saw Madison get wide eyed, and couldn't help but chuckle at her, as he took her hands.
"I promise you my parents won't be an issue. And if on the off chance they are, we'll deal with it however we need to. But, why do I feel like you have another issue with, the bomb I just dropped on you?"
Frankie asked warily. He could see clear as day Madison still had reservations over this, and there was more than the in-law factor getting to her.
"Mads what's really on your mind? You know you can tell me."
